Since `ffap' is an alias of `find-file-at-point', perhaps we should
add abbreviated versions that begin with the `ffap-' prefix as
aliases of full versions with long names:
ALIAS
find-file-at-point ffap
dired-at-point ffap-dired
list-directory-at-point ffap-list-directory
find-file-read-only-at-point ffap-read-only
find-alternate-file-at-point ffap-alternate
find-file-literally-at-point ffap-literally
find-file-other-window-at-point ffap-other-window
find-file-read-only-other-window-at-point ffap-read-only-other-window
dired-other-window-at-point ffap-dired-other-window
find-alternate-file-other-window-at-point ffap-alternate-other-window
find-file-other-frame-at-point ffap-other-frame
find-file-read-only-other-frame-at-point ffap-read-only-other-frame
dired-other-frame-at-point ffap-dired-other-frame
